The students are truly terrific, talented and inspiring! Credit for this outstanding program must go to Geri Provost Lyons, Youth and Family coordinator of the National Portrait Gallery. Geri developed the Teen Ambassador program and has been administering and implementing the program since its inception. Geri, with the students, and two fabulous NPG interns (Amy Reid and Brittany Sigley) really made this all come together. What a wonderful post!
